□ [“Another Migrant Caravan Marches Through Mexico To US – Says Say They Hope Dems Win Midterms"]

This comes off as suspicious and not just in the obvious way.  I want to know who's in charge of this.  Thinking about it, it's probably run by the same people handling the European invasion but this just seems so pointless.  The last invasion attempt from Mexico failed because Trump has the borders shut down.  That's not going to change this time, no matter who wins the mid-terms.

The POTUS runs the military and federal forces to protect the borders.  Congress would need to revoke the previous laws and pass new replacements for that to change.  They aren't going to do that after the mid-terms no matter what - I am assuming the Uniparty isn't that powerful - and then it's still going to be a couple months before anything changes in Congress.  At the very least, these invaders would need to sit there until January and that's assuming Democrats immediately pass an 'open borders' bill on Day One.

Which they won't.  They're leftists so they aren't competent at the best of times.  The newcomers would suddenly be learning things they'd never considered before and would need to work out how to do that while they're trying to raise taxes and nationalize the media and the health care system and all of that while they're realizing how comfy these seats are and won't do anything to risk that.  I'm blanking on any specific example but there's any number of quotes by known leftists about the importance of gaining power first and only then bothering to do anything revolutionary.  And look how that always turns out.

That's why I'm curious about who's behind this sudden invasion.  There's at least a decent chance it's actually the Trump administration and its allies, setting up a trap for the most expendable in Central and South America.  The left will love it because of course they do so even if they win the mid-terms, they'll also find themselves in a trap.

That's Arizona, I'm hoping that this discoveries are going on everywhere.  If I had to bet, the Trump administration is successfully preventing the majority of election fraud so Democrats will wind up way below what they usually expect.  Wisconsin has reduced the number of mail-in ballots by 30% because they're actually tracking down the addresses listed on the envelopes to see if actual voters live there.  No way to know if it's true but Pennsylvania is reporting a large decrease in Democrat mail-ins and a large increase in Republican.

That last one is just an example of how we can't trust what anyone is saying, especially the media.  It might be true or it might be a lie to inspire leftists to get out and vote as many times as possible.  MSNBC MSNOW insists that life-long Democrats this reporter knows are voting Republican this time.  It's convenient to believe that but it's the media so right there is a problem.  Would you trust it if this was in reverse, life-long Republicans voting Democrat this mid-term cycle?  Because that's what we're hearing on social media.  At least no explanations are given there other than Orange Man Bad.  This reporter says his friends don't like El-Sayed so at least that's some reason.

Then there's California which is desperately trying to keep its election theft.  There's the lawsuit about 20,000 unclear ballots.  The federal government is also arresting illegal immigrants who are illegally voting.  The state has basically admitted that they know this is happening but insists they can't do anything about it.  There are laws saying aliens can't vote in federal elections so California will lose that fight, at least in any fair court.  Any day now we'll be told it only happens a little bit, nothing worth bothering about.

Supreme Court 7-2 Denies Trump Emergency Appeal to Restrict Transgender Surgeries for Inmates

□ [“Russia Releases American Teacher Imprisoned During Biden Administration"]

This sort of thing is in the job description but it still seems like a waste of time and effort on Trump's part.  This guy has lived in Ukraine since 2014, there's no reason to consider him American.  True, this guy is ex-military and 2014 was the last time Russia and Ukraine fought and Obama insisted on getting involved there (along with Hunter Biden) but that doesn't make this look good.  According to Russia, he was part of a Ukrainian defense unit, which is just as suspicious.  Either way, this really shouldn't be our problem unless he was secretly working for the US all along.

I don't know how much Ukraine is hitting Russia but Russia is certainly hitting Ukraine, this 'cease fire' is the joke we all knew it would be.  And worse, Trump is publicly going after Zelensky, showing how deeply he's involved in something that, again, is NONE OF OUR F*KING BUSINESS!!!  The only argument I can think of that remotely helps here is if Trump has managed to get Putin and Russia away from China.  Ok, that's a good move but you could make the same argument that Russia and China got Trump away from the US.  That works too.

There is talk about them having some sort of peace talks next month and no, Zelensky won't be invited.  Doesn't sound like much of a peace talk to me.  There could be a valid discussion about things that are much more important than Ukraine but that's what they insist it's about.  Everything about this sounds like a bad way to go and as always, there's no reason to think that'll change.

□ [“Ilhan Omar Breaks Silence in Video Statement – Trump is 'Running Scared'”]

Nothing surprising about this.  I guess I'm a little shocked that it's taken her this long to make any public statement.  She's in the passenger seat of a moving car.  Some have speculated that the trees being passed by aren't normal for Minnesota this time of year.  I was looking at the few other visible vehicles, she's clearly driving on the right side of the road so she's probably still in the US.

She doesn't say much of anything relevant.  Trump is running scared, like he's done all the time since 2016, that's a pretty good record of winning for being scared all the time.  She also tells people to give her money although she doesn't say what for, just that it's a "very expensive and challenging time."  Her winery, her husband's wealth, her congressional salary, a lot of poor people would get more than enough money from any of those, what does she need help for?

I'm guessing there are specific rules on politicians using money.  We see that with rich politicians with some idea they're totally committed to but always want donations to pay for it.  If Omar isn't willing to do that, she's going to need to give us some better explanations on things like marrying her brother.  And has she always had that nose-ring or have I just never noticed it before?  I'd be willing to make that a rule right now that you can't be in Congress if you have a pierced nostril.

She can't say anything about the investigation, not that she's under a gag order, just that none of her answers would make her look good.  We still don't know how many people would *really* support her but I doubt that number is going up.  If she's lucky, it's staying the same and nobody is ditching her despite the oncoming train headed her way, but it's probably getting smaller.  One thing that's easy to forget about collectivists is how many say what they're expected to say in public but privately disagree with that entirely.  Nobody is saying she needs to be punished but they'll sneak in a vote for her on the ballot.
